#498 - If I force her to stay, what will you do? (4000 words)

Listening to her imperial father's summons, Wu Yanhan frowned.

In truth, Wu Yanhan was clear in her heart.

Such a big commotion had occurred in her residence, it was certain to be noticed by her imperial father.

Wu Yanhan thought that after her father found out, he would definitely send imperial palace servants over.

But what she didn't expect was that her father could be so patient, waiting until everything was settled before sending someone over, and only after Xu Ming was out of danger did he summon her to the palace to explain the situation.

If it were just her going to the palace alone, then Wu Yanhan wouldn't feel anything.

But the problem was that Sheng Sheng had to go with her.

Sheng Sheng was a human who possessed the bloodline of a magical beast, and could even be said to be the most perfect fusion of a magical beast and a human that the Black God Cult sought.

Sheng Sheng was worried that her imperial father might have ulterior motives regarding Sheng Sheng's identity.

There was even the possibility that Sheng Sheng would be studied and dissected by those medical cultivators!

After all, who wouldn't be tempted by this kind of spell research that allows mortals to possess the abilities of magical beasts and cultivate?

Which emperor in the world wouldn't want to master this kind of research?

Mastering this research technology would allow them to continuously create magical beast troops.

It is difficult for an ordinary person to become a cultivator, but are ordinary people hard to find? Are magical beasts hard to find?

"I understand, I will go to the palace to see my father later."

Wu Yanhan took a deep breath and nodded.

At this time, Wu Yanhan also knew that it was useless even if she refused.

She was still in Wudu.

And as long as she was in Wudu, if her father wanted to, he could tie her into the palace at any time.

It was useless even if she refused.

As for taking Sheng Sheng to escape, not to mention that Xu Ming was now seriously injured and bedridden, how could they escape together?

Even if Xu Ming was completely well now, it would be impossible for him to escape the imperial capital with her.

In the imperial capital, her father was like a saint in this place, as long as her father set up a barrier, no one would be able to leave this place.

"Then this subject will return to the palace to report first."

The leading imperial physician bowed to Wu Yanhan, and then led the other imperial physicians away from the princess's residence.

As soon as these imperial physicians left, Sheng Sheng ran into the room at the first moment.

Sheng Sheng knelt by the bed, holding Xu Ming's hand tightly in her arms, her eyes filled with self-blame.

Seeing Sheng Sheng like this, Wu Yanhan naturally felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Although Xu Ming was currently lying in bed, it was all caused by Sheng Sheng.

But to be honest, this matter really couldn't be blamed on Sheng Sheng.

At that time, Sheng Sheng had lost her mind, and she didn't even know what she was doing.

Moreover, the most painful person now is actually Sheng Sheng.

Sheng Sheng's pair of black vertical pupils stared at Xu Ming, as if Sheng Sheng was going to keep looking like this until Xu Ming woke up.

But having said that.

After Sheng Sheng evolved, compared to before, she has already grown into a graceful young woman.

Sheng Sheng's figure is very good, and she is also very beautiful, especially that pair of pointed ears, which has a different kind of flavor.

Wu Yanhan felt that the next Red Beauty List, the top ten people may have to change.

"Don't worry, since the imperial physicians in the palace all said that he is fine, Xu Ming will basically be fine, we just need to wait quietly for him to wake up."

Wu Yanhan comforted Sheng Sheng.

"It's all Sheng Sheng's fault..."

Sheng Sheng pursed her lips, her moist eyes filled with mist, "If it wasn't for Sheng Sheng, Xu-gege wouldn't have become like this, Sheng Sheng almost killed Xu-gege."

Wu Yanhan gently stroked Sheng Sheng's head: "Your ability to recover is the greatest comfort to Xu Ming, and it's not that you almost killed him, it's the other side of your inner beast.

I believe that what your Xu-gege hopes for most is to be able to see Sheng Sheng control that beastly side in her heart."

Sheng Sheng raised her head and looked at Wu Yanhan: "I will, Sister Yanhan, I will definitely control myself well, I will never hurt Xu-gege again."

"That's good."

Wu Yanhan smiled and looked at the girl in front of her, reaching out her hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Then Sister Yanhan, when will Xu-gege be able to wake up?"

Wu Yanhan shook her head: "You also heard just now, those imperial physicians are not sure when Xu Ming will wake up, so I can't give a specific answer either.

But Xu Ming has already walked back from the gates of hell so many times.

This time will definitely be no exception.

Don't worry, not to mention that Xu Ming is now a Golden Body Realm martial artist, our Golden Body Realm martial artists, in addition to being physically strong, also have first-class self-healing abilities, otherwise how would we fight against those cultivators."

Wu Yanhan looked at Sheng Sheng: "However, Sheng Sheng, before waiting for your Xu-gege to wake up, there are some things we need to deal with first."

Sheng Sheng turned her head and looked at Wu Yanhan: "Sister Yanhan, are we going to the palace to meet Sister Yanhan's father?"

Wu Yanhan nodded: "Yes, this time the commotion was too big, my imperial father must have noticed it."

Wu Yanhan gently stroked Sheng Sheng's long hair: "Sheng Sheng, this time Sister Yanhan must take you into the palace.

The palace is not a fun place, although you are going to see my imperial father, but in our imperial family, sometimes kinship is not so reliable.

It shouldn't be said, as long as there is enough benefit, most emperors can even abandon kinship.

After entering the palace, you may be in some danger, but I, your sister, will definitely protect you, are you willing to trust me?"

"En! Sheng Sheng believes in Sister Yanhan!"

Sheng Sheng nodded heavily, although Sheng Sheng has completely grown into a big girl, Sheng Sheng's mind seems to still be that little girl from before.

The corners of Wu Yanhan's mouth slightly raised: "I'll write a letter, and then have someone come to take care of Xu Ming, and we'll go to the palace later."

Sheng Sheng wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Okay, Sister Yanhan!"

Wu Yanhan wrote a letter and sent it to the Qin residence.

Now in Wudu, Wu Yanhan felt that the only person she could trust, and who also had some free time, was Xu Ming's third brother.

After Xu Pangda received the letter from the princess's residence, he quickly came to the princess's residence in a carriage.

"This official pays his respects to Prince Qin."

Xu Pangda bowed to Wu Yanhan, "Prince Qin, I wonder what happened to my fifth brother? How is his current situation?"

Xu Pangda was originally reading a book in the courtyard, eating pastries, and enjoying his vacation life.

Because Emperor Wu had not yet arranged a new position for Xu Pangda, Xu Pangda could only lie at home.

Although this kind of life was a bit boring, after working hard for such a long time, it was still pretty good to have such a vacation occasionally.

Not to mention that his mother planned to let him meet a certain official's daughter, to arrange a blind date for him.

This made Xu Pangda even more expectant.

As a result, Xu Pangda did not expect that while he was lying down, he received a letter from the princess's residence, saying that his fifth brother had a big hole pierced in his chest and had fallen into a coma...

His fifth brother finally woke up, why did he fall into a coma again...

It seemed that his fifth brother had not had a good life in these days, he was either injured here or injured there.

"Lord Xu, don't worry."

Wu Yanhan said calmly.

Regarding the Xu residence, Wu Yanhan actually didn't have a good impression.

In Wu Yanhan's view, most of the people in the Xu residence were some prodigal sons who ate the country's salary and did nothing.

But Wu Yanhan felt that this third brother of Xu Ming was indeed quite good.

Wu Yanhan paused and continued: "Now Xu Ming has escaped danger, as for the course of events, I am not very convenient to tell Lord Xu.

And now I need to go to the palace to report, Xu Ming will be handed over to Lord Xu to take care of, during the period I am away, all the maids in the residence will listen to your orders."

"Okay, okay, Prince Qin, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my fifth brother."

Xu Pangda patted his fat chest.

Although Xu Pangda didn't know what had happened to his fifth brother, but his fifth brother was so weak now, as his older brother, he would definitely take good care of him.

Wu Yanhan nodded, and then handed a jade pendant to Xu Pangda, indicating that if there were assassins, he could directly smash the jade pendant.

Wu Yanhan took Shen Sheng Sheng away from the princess's residence and got into a carriage to go to the palace.

Before the audience, Wu Yanhan took Sheng Sheng to her palace to take a bath and change clothes.

Shen Sheng Sheng put on a light blue palace dress, her completely grown figure was graceful and slender, and even had a bit of charm.

At this time, Wu Yanhan truly realized.

Sheng Sheng, who came out of the cocoon, was completely a big girl.

"Have you remembered all the etiquette that I taught you?"

Wu Yanhan taught Sheng Sheng some simple audience etiquette in the carriage.

"I remember, Sister Yanhan."

Sheng Sheng nodded heavily.

"Okay, let's go, don't be too nervous, as long as I am by your side, no one will dare to touch you, even my imperial father!"

Wu Yanhan said to Sheng Sheng.

Sheng Sheng squeezed her small hands: "En."

Wu Yanhan took Shen Sheng Sheng to the imperial study.

"This old servant pays his respects to Prince Qin."

Outside the imperial study, Wei Xun was already standing at the door waiting.

"Eunuch Wei is too polite."

Wu Yanhan cupped her fists in return.

Wei Xun said in a low voice, "Your Majesty has been waiting for you in the Imperial Study for a long time. Princess, you can go straight in."

Wu Yanhan nodded and walked into the Imperial Study.

Inside the Imperial Study, the Martial Emperor was still reviewing memorials.

"Your daughter, Yanhan, greets Father Emperor."

"Commoner, Shen Shengsheng, greets Your Majesty."

The Martial Emperor slowly raised his head, looking at the two women standing before him.

The Martial Emperor's gaze mainly fell on Shen Shengsheng.

"You may both rise," the Martial Emperor said.

"Thank you, Father Emperor."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wu Yanhan and Shen Shengsheng both straightened up.

Inside the Imperial Study, Shen Shengsheng felt extremely uncomfortable all over.

In fact, Shen Shengsheng had felt uncomfortable since she entered the palace, as if the air in the palace was filled with needles, like a fish on land.

And when she entered the Imperial Study, this feeling became even more pronounced.

Especially when the Martial Emperor looked at Shen Shengsheng, she felt as if she was about to be镇压killed by the aura permeating the palace.

"My daughter, the commotion you caused this time is not small," the Martial Emperor said, withdrawing his gaze from Shen Shengsheng and looking at his daughter, sighing.

Hearing her father call her "daughter," a hint of surprise flashed in Wu Yanhan's eyes, but she quickly understood her father's meaning.

This was not a meeting between ruler and subject, but a meeting between family members.

As long as it was between family members, most things could be discussed, and it would be easier to talk.

But similarly, the Martial Emperor's statement also meant that he hoped his daughter could tell the truth about the situation without any concealment. Between family members, there was no need for so much suspicion.

"I have worried Father Emperor," Wu Yanhan said slowly. "Your daughter and Xu Ming did cause quite a commotion because of personal matters, disturbing Father Emperor. I hope Father Emperor will forgive us."

"You two sit down and tell朕me about your affairs," the Martial Emperor said, granting them seats.

"Yes." Wu Yanhan pulled Shen Shengsheng to sit down on the side.

"First tell朕me about the origin of this girl beside you," the Martial Emperor asked directly. "She exudes the aura of a demonic beast. If朕hadn't forcibly suppressed the mountains and rivers' aura of the palace, she would have been镇压killed by the palace's magic arrays as soon as she entered the palace."

"Reporting to Father Emperor, this matter is indeed a long story," Wu Yanhan said, organizing her words. "Does Father Emperor still remember the Black God Sect that plagued our Wu Kingdom back then?"

"Of course朕know," the Martial Emperor nodded.

"And this girl beside me, named Shen Shengsheng, is the daughter of Shen Sheng at the time, and even more so a pitiful victim.

At that time, Xu Ming went out to train..."

Wu Yanhan told the Martial Emperor everything she knew, including Shen Shengsheng's origins and Xu Ming's encounter with Shen Shengsheng, and so on.

Xu Ming had told Wu Yanhan all of these things.

Wu Yanhan did not hide anything from the Martial Emperor.

Because hiding was useless.

After Shen Sheng's inhuman and demonic corpse was sent back to Wudu, the Martial Emperor had long known what the Black God Sect was doing.

And now, Shen Shengsheng's body contains the bloodline of a demonic beast. How could the Martial Emperor not associate these things together?

However, Wu Yanhan emphasized the tragedy of Shen Shengsheng's life experience and hinted to her father how important Shen Shengsheng was to her and Xu Ming, saying that she could be considered family.

After listening to his daughter's description, the Martial Emperor looked at his daughter and cut to the chase: "Yanhan, if朕want to keep her in the palace, what would you do?"
